“I’m not joking with you,” Lu Qinming emphasized. “The hospital I work in is a large private hospital. Something happened a while ago and it almost went bankrupt. Although it has recovered now, it is still at a loss.
The dean seems to want to change hands casually, slap your ass and leave, so if you lose, you really need to invest.”
“If I lose, I will not only invest in the hospital but also directly buy it and invest in it well,” Su Jing declared confidently.
“Since you have said so, then I will bet with you,” Lu Qinming agreed, seeing Su Jing’s determination.
Anyway, Su Jing was a super local tycoon, and even if it was 100 million, he wouldn’t blink if he threw it away not to mention the sum of 10 Million they have betted. It was a good opportunity to solve the crisis in the hospital and teach Su Jing a lesson.
Lu Lu, Xiao Rui, Mu Ting, and the others were momentarily at a loss for words. Why did they suddenly start gambling?
However, the bets made by the two, one for 10 million and one for teaching, are not difficult for both parties so there was no need to stop them.
“Let’s go to the Institute of Archaeology now,” Su Jing said.
“It’s so late, would anyone still be there?” Lu Qinming asked.
“Yes, I just communicated with Old Zhou from the Institute of Archaeology,” Su Jing replied.
“Okay, let’s go,” Lu Qinming agreed without hesitation.
Su Jing took Lu Qinming to the Institute of Archaeology, and Mother Lu also went with them. Lu Lu, Mu Ting, Xiao Rui, Xiang Rong, and the others continued to play as if it was still a party. It is only after eight o’clock, and it is still early before the birthday party ends.
Of course, they were also very curious about the appraisal results of the ancient books, so they asked Su Jing and Lu Qinming to call and tell them after they came to a conclusion.
As they drove to the Institute of Archaeology, Su Jing and Lu Qinming discussed the details of their bet. Su Jing was confident that the book was authentic, while Lu Qinming believed it to be a forgery.
They arrived at the Institute of Archaeology and were greeted by Old Zhou, who was waiting for them.
Su Jing, Lu Qinming, and Mother Lu had just arrived at the Institute of Archaeology, and Zhou Xixian couldn’t wait to greet them, and asked excitedly, “Mr. Su, what about the ancient medical classics you’re talking about?” Ye Bo was also there, It seems that he has come here on purpose.
Upon hearing the general situation, their curiosity was piqued, especially given that it was brought up by Su Jing. Given precedents such as the statue of Atlantis and the 5,800-year-old corpse, they had even more reason to be concerned.
“Please assist me in identifying and determining its approximate age. You must be cautious so that Uncle Lu doesn’t doubt it and think it’s a mistake,” Su Jing said with a grin as he produced an ancient book from his bag.
“Of course, I trust the expertise of Old Zhou and Old Ye,” replied Lu Qinming, who had heard of the renowned appraisers’ Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo, and held them in high regard.
However, he also believed that the appraisal results would confirm his own beliefs.
“Let’s begin then,” said Zhou Xixian as he carefully donned gloves and gingerly took hold of the ancient book, treating it as if it were a precious treasure. Upon receiving the test results, however, the entire testing room erupted in excitement.
“Impossible! Something must have gone wrong,” Zhou Xixian exclaimed, his excitement palpable.
“I agree, there has to be a mistake. This can’t be true,” Ye Bo added feeling equally thrilled.
However, as they scrutinized the test results, a sense of familiarity crept over the group. “Old Zhou, Old Ye, don’t you find your words familiar? You said something very similar not too long ago,” Several assistants by their sides observed them with strange looks on their faces.
Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo were taken aback. It took them a moment to remember that they had uttered the same words before, twice even. Once when they were examining the Goddess Statue of Atlantis and again with the 5,800-year-old corpse.
In both instances, they couldn’t believe the results at first. But no matter how they tested it, the outcome remained the same. Experts from all over the country and beyond corroborated their findings. Eventually, they had to accept the incredible truth.
Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo fell silent and resumed their testing. They tried different methods of verification, but all the results pointed to the same conclusion – an utterly unbelievable one.
Lu Qinming couldn’t believe his ears. “Are you saying that this is really an ancient book?” He asked with an incredulous expression on his face.
“Yes, not only is it an ancient book, but it’s also extremely old. If we’re not mistaken, it dates back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the early Three Kingdoms period,” Zhou Xixian replied as he tried to calm himself down but he still shook with excitement.
“How is this possible? From an archaeological standpoint, even someone like me, who is not an expert, knows that this is impossible,” Lu Qinming exclaimed, completely dumbfounded.
This was no longer a refutation based on medical considerations, but a direct archaeological conclusion.
One must know that even calligraphy and painting books from the Tang Dynasty, which is several hundred years later, are rare today.
As for the Eastern Han Dynasty, which predates the invention of paper by Cai Lun, authentic works, even those made of stone tablets, jade slips, or bamboo slips, are rarely preserved. The fact that such a complete paper book has survived is nothing short of a miracle.
When combined with the medical analysis, the situation seemed even more improbable. Was it possible that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there existed effective methods for controlling leprosy?
The group fell silent, grappling with the gravity of what they had just discovered. The ancient book in front of them held the key to unlocking a mystery that had puzzled historians and medical experts for centuries.
“Old Zhou, Old Ye, I kindly request that you re-examine the situation as there appears to be an issue. Upon reviewing the aforementioned method of preventing and treating leprosy, the theory seems to be highly accurate. Additionally, the other prevention and treatment methods for various difficult and miscellaneous anorexia are also remarkably advanced and effective, resembling that of modern medical treatments but it shouldn’t be possible as it was exceptionally rare for anorexia to be cured during ancient times.” Although Lu Qinming initially expressed confidence in the two elders, he now finds it challenging to believe their conclusion as it seems highly unreasonable.
Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo were astounded by their inability to grasp the full scope of the book’s contents despite their vast knowledge in the field. They dedicated themselves to studying it relentlessly, yet their understanding remained stagnant.
